Hide AdMs Brown said she hopes the man’s new-found publicity will encourage him to think twice about where he lets his pooch relieve itself.
“I couldn’t believe how brazen and brave he was,” she said.
“Obviously I was enraged. He obviously knew where his dog left its mess. I was pretty disgusted by what it did.
“He literally walked over, the dog did the mess, and he walked off.
“It’s a disgrace to dog owners,” Ms Brown added,
“It’s not the nicest job in the world but if you have a dog, you clean up after it.

“People should be aware that CCTV footage is on properties. A lot of people don’t have it, but more should be available for a more proactive response.”
A council spokesman added: “We will always investigate incidents of dog fouling and if we can identify the owners responsible we will challenge them and it can lead to us issuing a fixed penalty notice.
